I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I still enjoyed these opera creams. The chocolate ganache and almond sponge cake are delicious.

The opera creams were a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked the sponge cake. Next time, I'll bake it for a few minutes less.

The opera creams were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the buttercream if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
